Docker setup on Windows

Steps

1. Install Docker Desktop for Windows.

https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows

2. Install WSL2.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

3. Make sure awscli is up to date.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-windows.html

4. Run the following command to login to the ECR repo.

aws ecr get-login-password --region <aws-region> | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <ecr-repo-name>

Or if you are using an older awscli, you can try

aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region <aws-region> > ./run.sh

Then run the shell file — run.sh

5. If you encounter error in step 4 →

Error saving credentials: error storing credentials - err: exit status 1

then you need to rename the following exe file.

And also rename ~/.docker/config.json to ~/.docker/config.json.original

Run the shell script run.sh again.

Copy AWS ECR repo between 2 AWS accounts

1. To pull a repo:

docker pull <repo/image>

2. Create the same repo in second account.

aws ecr create-repository — repository-name <repo-name> --profile account2

3. Tag the image and push to target repo.

docker tag <account1-image> <account2-image>
docker push <account2-image>
